Does anyone have any idea why a Flash movie might refuse to load in IE6, although it plays fine in Firefox? It’s a simple, animation-only piece of fluff that uses nothing other than a few tweens between symbols, but it is stubbornly refusing to play in Microsoft for me. I’ve created it in Flash 8, but it’s been output to 6, 7, and 8 . . . with all of the versions doing the same thing. Below is the code – notice anything?

 
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0](http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0)" width="97" height="79" id="screen" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="images/screen.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="images/screen.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="97" height="79" name="screen" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)" />
</object>

could be your code base
codebase=“http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0”

Good guess . . . although I’m running a version 6 of the swf on there now, and copying your line exactly (except changing the version to “6,0,0,0”) didn’t seem to help. I initially took the codebase directly from Flash 8’s html output, which has never done this to me before. . . .
